The Ministry of Justice said: "Removing a business's authorisation is a serious matter which can only be taken after careful consideration of all the evidence and the consequences for clients of such action.

"MoJ has already confirmed publicly that we have been investigating CCR. As a result of this investigation, we have suspended the authorisation of Cartel Client Review Ltd, with effect from today, March 18 2010.

"This means that CCR will no longer be able to carry out any claims management services. As with any suspended business, the MoJ will be monitoring the situation and considering next steps that may be appropriate."

Carl Wright said in a statement today : "Cartel Client Review (CCR) notified the MoJ, that CCR had voluntary ceased taking new business on the 10th March 2010.

"As a result of this action by CCR and following further discussions it was entirely appropriate for the MoJ to suspends CCR's authorization."
